Corporate Partnership Opportunities

Grace Institute works to leverage the strengths of the corporate sector on behalf of the women who participate in Grace Institute programs. Our corporate partners invest in our participants with their financial and volunteer resources.

Grace Institute’s Corporate Partnership Program is a unique way for your company or organization to fully connect with Grace participants and graduates and empower them to earn successful, career ladder jobs. Our partners are committed to helping women realize their own potential and helping them empower their families and communities.

Opportunities are driven by integrated partnerships including both traditional and innovative approaches, such as; strategic philanthropy through financial donations, in-kind contributions, inclusion in employee-giving program, and cause-marketing initiatives.

If you are interested in partnering with Grace Institute, please contact Chief Development Officer, Ashaki O. Charles at acharles@graceinstitute.org.
